How we compiled this
Pricing fetched directly from each vendor's official pricing page via WebFetch. Where the official page rendered JS-only or returned errors, reputable aggregator pages (SoftwareAdvice, GetApp, Zapier blog) were used as primary source and noted in provenance. All prices are USD. Per-seat plans show the cost for one seat/user as the smallest billable unit. Annual prices are the effective monthly rate (annual total divided by 12). Month-to-month rates are noted in plan notes where both billing periods are published. Vendors with no public self-serve price are included with null monthlyUsd. accessedAt is 2026-06-14 for all sources.
